  • And not just software vendors, but chip and board manufacturers with at least security fixes for at least the same length of time, but maybe like X+2 years to account for devices being released after the initial components

  • King Pyrrhus of Epirus. He was known for winning battles against superior armies, at the cost of taking heavy losses. He was once quoted as saying "If we are victorious in one more battle with the Romans, we shall be utterly ruined."

    He was so famous for this, that the term for a victory that devastates the victor bears his name, a Pyrrhic victory.

  • I remember 5 years ago when Linus said he would work to show more restraint in swearing out vendors... and it's just hit me how well that worked. He didn't use a single swear word--in English or Finnish--and kept his negative sentiment focused on the implementation, rather than the people who did it, or their intelligence.

  • The Supreme Court said that he couldn't, because he couldn't point to "clear congressional authorization" for the cancellation program. An act of Congress not only can waive student loan debt, but is how SCOTUS said Biden would need to go about it.

  • Political ideologies can mean very different things in different countries/contexts. Republicans in France or the US are conservatives, broadly in support of the status quo. Republicanism in the UK, or late during the French Monarchy, is a much more revolutionary ideology, interested in upsetting the status quo with policies like electing a head of state. I think nationalist and patriot have similar relative meanings that reflect the nation one is from.

  • No the number is public. The IPv4 addresses allocated to the US are about 1.524 Billion, and there are ~332 million people in the US. Most of those IPv4 addresses are allocated to servers in datacenters, but individual people having a public IP for their house is really common. Yeah, your devices are behind NAT, but you can get one. To their point, in countries like India, people outnumber IPv4 addresses so much this isn't possible. Just getting people there online in a way they can interact with the IPv4 Internet is tricky to do well.

  • It might be soon. The Ontario College of Psychiatrists reprimanded him, and recommended he take a refresher course on professional use of social media, citing a number of complaints of his unprofessional behavior. He's suing them over it.

    Assuming his lawsuit doesn't have any effect, this feels like building a paper trail for a permanent suspension.

  • If you have a native Ethernet port, use that. If you don't, ethernet over USB-C or on a PCI card is approximately as good. A USB 3.0 adapter + port is technically slower, but if your network isn't capable of speeds faster than a gigabit, the adapter won't be the limiting factor. For most people, these are all good solutions. Faster networking equipment is still somewhat specialty/niche.

    USB 2.0 adapters/ports can cause problems though, as it's capped around half a gigabit. While this likely won't affect your access speeds to the public internet, it will likely slow file transfers to other devices on your home network.

    The chipset maker isn't a perfect heuristic, as shown in the article, but I've had pretty good luck with Intel and Marvell.
